I'm more concerned about how other roles in Quidditch are basically fighting for like 30 minutes while having no practical impact to the result of the game

It's been a while since I read them, but iirc, catching the snitch ends the games and gives a shitload of points to the catcher's team, but it doesn't automatically win the game if the opposing team is more points ahead than the team that gets the snitch. I think i' the books there are a few matches in which Harry can't catch the snitch but needs to keep the other team's catcher from catching it. Tho the amount of points the snitch gives is too high for it to occur often.

The quidditch world cup in book 4 happened this way. The Irish won by points but they did not catch the snitch.

And notably, the odds for this happening were extremely low, because the vast majority of the time the team that catches the snitch wins
